probably about the best hobby book ever published. (yes I was very very very very very very bored at the time. lol) I've read two editions and the older one, before color, was so much better, actually.

Certainly not a bad book with some good tips on how to take good pictures - however, it is written for manual Kodak cameras (mine is a Nikon Compact Digital Camera). I liked the top 10 techniques for better pictures (for example moving closer to the subject, correct exposure and lighting, keeping the background simple and moving the subject slightly off-center) as they are relevant with any camera.

Yet another great little handbook.
I learned some basic composition theory for visual art in Community College, but nothing big.
Besides teaching me how to take a picture, it taught me SOMETHING ELSE that will devour my free time and keep me a poor student of many arts and a master of none - they still make 110 film! If that isn't the cat's meow, please show me something more purr-worthy.

It'll be my godfather of my photograph's thinking.Film basis but many things deals with DP too.
